Het kan het derde millennium zijn, maar niet veel is veranderd * Sinds de dagen om naar een korset te worden geregen, zo stijf dat men nauwelijks kan leunen, laat staan. Het zijn geen wonder die dames moesten om ruikende zouten, of "vinaigrettes" moesten dragen als

Just as some don’t understand corsetry and the many myths that are still hanging around, I don’t understand modern concepts of ‘shape wear’, but the desire to alter the shape of our bodies to conform with the current ideal of beauty, has been around for centuries. It’s a fascinating subject.
I wear a corset 23 hours a day, I can breathe, I can do house work, I walk kilometres every day, and have no troubles with it. I make them myself, to my measurements, so they are comfortable, as well as beautiful. I’d rather wear a bespoke corset than modern underwear, any day. I do experiential Era Living, from early Georgian, to early Edwardian, with all the historically accurate clothing and underpinnings, from millinery, down to the shoes, and everything in between, which I make myself. I can say with all honesty that the split drawers are wonderful, they are comfortable and practical. I’ve not used a chamber pot though. Lol.
An interesting article, but honestly, corsets are not as bad as many assume, if it is a bespoke piece, and waist training is undertaken slowly, and with awareness of your body’s limitations, it is quite safe. Pregnancy (in the later stages) moves internal organs around too, yet few ever mention that.
